Have you met any of the people who called for this law? They are more than willing to call the cops on every single incident of this occurring, without informing anyone, until the cops get sick of it and start arresting people, or receive orders to do so, because it's current year+2 now.

On the claims of hate crime? Yes you will be arrested. People are already conflating this with burning a cross on a black person's lawn. They'll argue and cry and scream about you being a violent hate filled person until the cops get tired and lock you up.

That's not what a hate crime is my dude. That wouldn't even constitute harassment. Can you provide me a link to a single person that has stood trial for calling a black person nigger just once? Nobody will even keep me there until police arrive let alone have the police do anything other than tell me to fuck off. The cops don't care enough to arrest me for a single occurance. Now if I keep doing it and they keep having to tell me to fuck off I might get dinged with something eventually but that's getting to the point of harassment.

Cops don't operate on arresting people because someone is mad. Most cops don't want to arrest you at all. It's more paper work and bullshit for them and they would always rather give you a slap on the wrist and tell you to go away than arrest you.

Nobody is going to arrest you though. What do you think if I call some trans person at a bus stop a he that they are going to call up the cops have them come down have him explain it to the cops then they are going to even think it's worth the paper work? At worse you could waste some police officers time and have them ask me nicely to not do it again to placate the trans person. In practice this law will never be used to throw random dudes in jail just as other anti discrimination laws won't get you thrown in jail for calling a black dude a nigger on the street.

It's just not how the legal system works to care about random slights and jabs this is aimed at work place discrimination and legitimate targeted harassment which are protections they should be entitled to.

Good point. I understand "accidentally" but, just like women calling rape on a man with no evidence, I see that trannys could take "accidentally" a bit too far.

Trannys can cry crocodile tears just like anyone else, so the stipulation of "accidental" would make this an ambiguous law, and be very open ended to interpretation. Laws like this are cancerous to society because of their ambiguity.

It's like saying I "accidentally" stabbed that dude at the bar, I didn't mean to maliciously harm him, it was an accident. And then getting of scott-free because of open ended interpretation and intent.

But intent really does matter in law. What you actually did isn't nearly as important as why you did it. If we didn't think intent was important then things like crimes of passion and manslaughter wouldn't exist.

Also what I am saying is that in general practice this law won't be used to throw random dudes in jail for misgendering as that is a long legal process for literally no gain for either party. It's just unlikely that anyone would ever even begin to care enough and most courts would throw it out pretty quickly. It technically could be abused but so can literally every anti discrimination law in history yet most don't get abused anywhere near enough to offset the benefits of them existing.
